A clone trooper designated AR-9771, later known as Airo, fought for the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the Clone Wars. He met his death in battle circa 22 BBY on Abrion Major, while engaging the forces of the Separatist Droid Army. At the time of his demise, Airo, newly named, was a member of the 212th Attack Battalion, serving under the leadership of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Commander CC-2224, also known as "Cody." Despite Kenobi's efforts to rescue the clone, Airo urged his general to prioritize his own survival and leave him behind. He attempted to utter the Jedi saying "May the Force be with you" to Kenobi, but his life ended before he could complete the sentence.
